I found out a week before my surgery date that I had to lose 5 lbs...i ate like a mad woman for 3 days then did a 4 day liquid diet and came out at 4 lbs down...it all ended up good in the end.

Good!!! I'm heading out to LA next week for a biz trip and would crack up if it went off for my band!!!!

congrats!!! :banghead: :cursing: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

thanks, Shelli!!!

I'm having the same problem and definitely don't want to live on milk of magnesia! any additional advice welcome!

5 for me - 4 small, 1 about an inch...1 week out and they are already going down!

hahaha - i second that!

Ok....I feel kind of dumb asking this...but I know what a fill is - so what does restriction mean? Thanks in advance! Lise (Lise The Loser’s Weblog)

ooh my - you got your first fill so quickly? wow - i've never heard of that! how are you feeling?

I have the same pain and went to the doctor yesterday for my post op - he told me it's normal and is from the muscles they sew the port into and I should not worry about it. I'm sure it's the same with you but you might want to call you doc just to make sure. :drool:

Definitely call your doctor. It's probably nothing but he/she will be glad you called them - that's what you paid them for and that's exactly what they are there for!

check out my blog - i have a recipe to make the slimfast shakes taste like a frappuccino - i drink 2 a day and LOVE them!!!! Lise The Loser’s Weblog

I'm sending my best wishes your way - I know you will do amazingly well!!!! :drool::thumbup::teeth_smile::thumbup::teeth_smile::thumbup::drool::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

check out my blog (you'll need to click on the calendar on the right side and start with the 4th of march) - i've documented everything with pictures from the beginning to today from my surgery!!! it was such an amazing experience - but like you i was so nervous. i know you'll be just fine!

i started my pre-op 3 days before surgery (slimfast) and lost 4 lbs and everything went absolutely amazing well! i know you'll be just fine. i worried too - but it was for nothing. :drool:

Yes yes yes yes yes!!! i was banded a week ago and already i feel a million times better just for making the decision. read my blog - you will see what i mean! Lise The Loser’s Weblog

I was the complete opposite - I told everyone and anyone who would listen...and now that i've had the surgery I'm showing everyone my incision marks...yup a bit of a weirdo - and now i've started my own blog about it! (Lise The Loser’s Weblog). Dear lord...who knows what will happen when I can feel the port - I'll start asking everyone to start touching it!

hahaha - did the same thing....kind of like my last supper that lasted a week! but 3 days before my surgery i did the slimfast thing and lost 4 lbs. it all worked out!

Another self-pay here!
